Yeah, that's probably it.  I changed the TCP dissector not to assume
that the tvbuff reported length reflects the actual segment length if
the packet is a fragment (which fixes the other problem you reported,
without completely turning dissection off if the header isn't long
enough), and just now added a check for whether the segment is in an
"error packet" (ICMP or ICMPv6 packet containing part or all of the
offending packet) in the same place.
